WEEK 9
this week’s nutrition plan (what to do after a fast)
when and how to fast: when you’ve hit a long plateau, for 1,2 or 3 days pick the fruit of your choice and make juice (sugar free and all natural) drink it non stop plus your water… if you’re really hungry eat almonds or easily digested protein… once you start you must do it right if you don’t want a yoyo effect…
the days after the fast you must eat 1/4 of your regular food intake.. and mostly fruit and vegetables
for example:
breakfast: 1 cup of green juice
snack 1: 1 cup of fruit
snack 2: cucumber or carrots
lunch: tuna or any other fish and vegetables and/or salad and 1/2 cup of beans or lentils or something similar
snack: cucumber or carrots
dinner: 1 fruit and vegetables and 1/4 avocado
approx calorie intake: 350
